PARLOR GAMES by Leda Swan: Sarah Chesham is an out-
of-work seamstress, down to her last few pennies. While
having a ha'penny cup of coffee, she asks if any work is
available at the establishment. A pretty, yet naive
daughter of a curate, she takes the job offered, hoping to
keep her virginity, even though she'll be a Coffee House
Girl, one step up from a prostitute. When freelance writer
Tom Wilde sees her while at the coffeehouse snooping for a
story, he's smitten immediately and is determined to keep
her away from the fat, old member of Parliament sniffing
after her. Sarah is very attracted to Tom, but no matter
how intense her sexual desire gets, she still wants to keep
her virginity -- until the Parliament member gets her away
from everyone and sets out to rape her.
BORDER LORD by Julia Templeton: Terri Campbell is in
Scotland, still reeling from finding her fiancé naked with
his secretary. To take her mind off her troubles, she takes
a tour of the centuries-old Priory of Grace. Leaving the
tour, she enters a legendary locked chamber and encounters
someone -- or something -- she doesn't understand. Then she
awakens to find she's someone else -- the daughter of a
Highland lord in the year 1294 about to be abducted by
Brochan Douglas, Laird MacLellan. Brochan kidnaps her to
get revenge against her father, who killed his brother.
Even though she's struggling to understand how she could
become this other person, Terri is extremely attracted to
Brochan. And Brochan doesn't count on the immediate
connection between them, or the desire that tells him he
must have her at all costs. And keep her.
This anthology was a hot blast from the past. Steamy plots,
erotic scenes and very likable characters made it a fast,
fun read. Each story was the perfect length for a break
from the humdrum of everyday life. And who knew the men and
women from long ago engaged in such shocking manners! Very
intense sexual situations. I enjoyed it a lot -- a good read.
In these three historical tales of sensual awakening,
nothing that stimulates and titillates is taboo, ecstasy
comes in many sizes, and pleasure is its own reward . . . a
world of seduction and sensation, where inhibitions are
unlaced and desires long corseted are gloriously
freed. . . .
